Best time to check trichomes..lights on or off?

[mp377t]

To clarify should I check my trichomes with the hps on or off? I finally broke down and got myself one of those 60-100x microscopes. I tried it on on my auto and it seems to work so now I just gatta wait for another 2 hours to check my big one.

I would say in the light. Unless you have a green bulb. Checking at "night" may disturb your plant if you let light in.

saying that would you be able to see trichs with the lights off? hehe

Checking before the lights come on wont hurt your plant one bit.

well I would check the trichs then turn my lights on, I would wait until a few minutes before they come on. I know taking pictures of plants with a camera with lights on look like crap and so thats why I asked.

alright I just check them and it is looking like most of them are clear with some being amber. Can I expect to harvest maybe next week? I have been flowering for approximatly 8.5 weeks or so. I'm getting a little impatient and really want to smoke some good stuff since I can't get it around here.

I think I'm just as impatient, I'm only 1 week into flowering tho haha
